Guerlain Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Iris, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is Guerlain at its most iconic: the definitive vetiver for many, a true benchmark for all. While some find it a touch old-fashioned or weak in modern formulations, for lovers of green and classic masculine scents, it’s a timeless masterpiece. Effortlessly classy, if you can pull it off.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Guerlain Vetiver's clean, fresh, and slightly soapy profile makes it highly suitable for office and formal wear, as many reviews highlight its 'inoffensive' and 'gentlemanly' qualities. Its versatile nature, described as good for 'all environments', also lends it to casual settings, though its classic elegance might be a bit much for active sport.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of lemon, bergamot, and neroli, quickly spiced by nutmeg and coriander, underpinned by a distinctive tobacco note. The heart reveals the quintessential earthy, green vetiver, balanced with peppery carnation and smooth sandalwood. The drydown deepens into a rich, complex base of oakmoss, leather, and a hint of warm amber, softened by tonka and myrrh, leaving a trail of sophisticated, clean greenness.
